Ill be in the chat. We're there a lot of people there yesterday? I couldn't make it.

Whoever It is, I just hope it fills a big need. A trade down wouldn't be bad.

Re: GAME DAY THREAD: NFL Draft Rounds 2 & 3

If one of the OTs has first round type talent and can start, then I'd say go either OT or WR Justin Hunter. I'm kind of hoping that they take the WR--we really need someone else out there who can get open and stretch the field for CJ and Bush.

Re: GAME DAY THREAD: NFL Draft Rounds 2 & 3

At this point I don't think we'd be drafting an OT better than what we currently have.

OG - Larry Warford, Brian Winters If Reiff is a Tackle and Nagy is a future Center we still need a G. If Nagy is a G in their Eyes well need a Center to develop later like Khaled Holmes or Brian Schwenke but not until 4th IMO.

LB - Arthur Brown, Sio Moore - Both are Late 2nd to Early 3rd values and would be Happy with either at Pick #65

TE - Zack Ertz - ALmost no Chance he fals this far but if he did hed be an excellent replacement for Pett when we likely let him walk next year.

I would be happy with any of these players, but as we have multiple choices available in each round I think we should get the better talents rather than specific positions, and make sure we are getting great value. Middle of this draft is awesome with depth at the positions we need, so lets make the most of it and trade down if possible.

Nice breakdown, but you have players shown for the third round that I highly doubt will make it out of the second round. Ertz, Brown and Armstread are players I feel are second round locks. Moore and Warford I think go second round as well, and Winters may be the only one who actually slips to the Lions in the third. I'd be happy with many of them, but in certain circumstances would prefer the Lions move down some spots before taking those players.

In the third round, besides Winters, I wouldn't mind it if the Lions were able to have Sam Montgomery drop to them. Robert Alford, David Amerson, Jordan Poyer...all good picks in the third.

One player I want the Lions to stay away from is Damontre Moore. He's a complete douchebag who thinks himself as the second coming of Bruce Smith. Poor attitude, immaturity, and just a bad personality all around. He's got talent, to be sure. But we've already seen how an over-inflated ego can trump talent.

Re: GAME DAY THREAD: NFL Draft Rounds 2 & 3

Think the Lions need to address the WR deficiency at some point in the next 2 rounds. My preference would be Hunter in the 2nd, or Wheaton if they wait till the 3rd. Not that there won't be later round options at wide-out, but they need a guy with speed to take the top off. Don't think Allen or Woods fit that bill. Agree with what wjb said, "At this point I don't think we'd be drafting an OT better than what we currently have."If they like a Guard in the 3rd, or maybe better yet a multi position O-lineman later in the draft, works for me. Sio Moore is the only LB I'd take in this range, and not at 36. Would like a TE, but not this early (5th or 6th).

I guess I haven't been following the prospects as closely as I had thought. I didn't know many of the cb's besides the top few. I really liked B.W. Webb wish they could have held off a few rounds to get him. I hope he was their BPA.
